To: Suns-at-Home@tigger.net-kitchen.com I recently acquired a sun IPC with sunOS 4.1 tapes for a sun4c architecture. The hard disk crashed, so I am trying to reinstall the OS, which brings me to the point: when booting, I specify b st() it responds with: Boot: so I say Boot: st(,,2) and it says size 22000+8628+87780 (the numbers are not exact) and then hangs. I think the tape may be bad, or something else??? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. even advice on how to go about getting a new tape (or borrowing one). Thanks Jim Jensen jensen@clark.net Ellicott City, MD, USA - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Jan 1996 14:49:00 -0500 From: "fadi (f.) mehanna" Subject: Commercial Communication packages for SS2/4.1.3 To: Suns-at-Home@tigger.net-kitchen.com Hi, I have a SUN SPARC 2 (sunos 4.1.3), configured as a standalone wstation at home. I have Xserver installed locally. Is there any good commercial (no Freeware/shareware) communication packages (asyn/sync). Something like ProCom for the PC. I am also thinking to upgrade my SS2 running 4.1.3_U1 sun4c, to Solaris 2.3/4/5 ?? What do you think of that?? good move, bad move, ??? Thanks for any help, _______________________ Fadi Mehanna fmehanna@bnr.ca _______________________ - ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
